America's Next Top Male Model

http://www.southpawenterprises.com/Plush-Pulsating-Frog-P1228.aspx

This photo appears in their most recent catalog.  They came to Randy's daycare and used about five or so children to model with their equipment.  My photogenic toddler was one of the lucky few.  Some of the older children were used in multiple shots.  Randy was allowed to keep the frog and they sent him a check for $50.  Toy R Us here he comes!

I am glad they used special needs children.  There is nothing more irritating than seeing a child in a photo with a piece of equipment (ie: a walker) that they are obviously not using.  Just a mini-rant.

It's been a long time

I’m not sure why it has been so long since I’ve last posted. I can always think of a million things to post about such as his hearing test, visit to ENT, tour of the toddler programs, ophthalmology appointments, speech, PT, feeding, etc…. But then I get the computer and do a million other things…. Not sure why?

Instead……

Happy Easter!

Randy and big sister Lynnze

HE gave his life for theirs....What a marvelous thing!

1 year old pictures

I took Randy to get his pictures taken. I forget how small he is and how young he looks to others. The photographer was setting up for his pictures and she put the little reclining foam with the fabric over it. You know the pose they use for little babies. I said he can sit up. She look surprised and said, "How old is he?" I said twelve months and she wrinkled her eyebrows.

She then took away the reclining thing and set it up for a sitting pose. Of course I think all the pictures are adorable. I will post them when I get them back in a couple of weeks.

A good thing happened while taking the pictures. I stood behind the photographer to try to get Randy to smile; I was about 4-5 feet away. I gave him huge smile and he gave one back. Now we always do that, but we are usually face to face. I was so impressed he could see me from that far away!!! His eyes are getting stronger and his vision is improving.

My prayer is for God to remind me to see the glass as half full instead of half empty.
